Rides to dialysis three times a week for Refilwe in Pretoria
A rota of drivers to Pretoria General Hospital would keep Refilwe on treatment. Even one trip a week helps.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa739 views
Refilwe has been on dialysis for 5 years and until recently drove to Pretoria General Hospital alone. After a foot amputation, Refilwe can no longer drive. Taxis cost more than the family can pay three times a week.
We're building a rota of volunteer drivers. Each session is 3 hours, including the trip there and back; most volunteers take one regular day. The journey is about 10 km each way.
Refilwe is cheerful company. You'd need a car in good condition and a clean driving record. We'll cover your fuel costs, and the family will send you home with homemade food.
Please say which day works for you in the comments.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
- effort
- one weekly trip
